President Vladimir Putin has accused British secret services of organising an attack on a Russian atomic facility. During a speech in Vladivostok, the Russian president claimed captured Ukrainian soldiers had revealed they had been instructed to sabotage the facility by the British.
Putin expressed his disbelief at the situation, asking: "Do they understand what they are playing with? Are they trying to provoke us into retaliating against Ukrainian atomic power stations? Does the British prime minister know what his secret services are doing in Ukraine?"
The Times reports that Putin also accused the US government of being involved in the alleged attack, although he did not specify which atomic facility was targeted.
Russian forces have occupied the Zaporozhzhia nuclear station in southern Ukraine for more than a year, and both Russian and Ukrainian soldiers have accused each other of shelling around the plant's six reactors.
Tomorrow, Putin is expected to meet North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-un to discuss a nuclear arms deal. It appears he will do so while still being concerned about the possible consequences of the UK's involvement in the alleged attack on the Russian atomic facility.
